Dental Sedation

What is Dental Sedation?

Dental sedation refers to the techniques used to make patients more comfortable during dental procedures. Our dentists can help determine if dental sedation is right for you. 

At Wiarton Dental, we do everything we can to help patients feel more relaxed and comfortable during their dental appointments. In addition to offering sedation options, we will work at your pace, take breaks when you need them, and provide calm reassurance as needed.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous oxide is inhaled through the mouth and nose. The medication calms patients even though they remain awake and able to communicate. It also tends to lessen anxiety, increase pain threshold, reduce gag reflex and make time pass more quickly.
